Would you forgive a drunken kiss? Danny/Maura

No because how would you ever know it was only a kiss, or even if it was that it was only once? If he's kissed over person who else has he kissed, he's late home and you can't help but overthink it, is he really working late, is that really his boss that's texting him ad infinitum. Marriage isn't marriage without trust. I have been called a cool wife on here before, I'm not but there is trust in my relationship and DH knows one incident would be the end. I'm not the forgiving kind.

Why is Maura Higgins even at the Brits? Why was she at the MOBO's, the Fashion Awards and the BAFTAs? She's a talentless nobody who is fast catching up to Lizzie Cundy in the I'll go to the opening of an envelope award. I wouldn't end the marriage over the kiss, but I'd never ever forgive. And I'd make his life very uncomfortable for quite a while. What an idiot Danny is.

Danny is a first class dickhead. All that hard work in the jungle he did to come across as a family man who missed his wife and kid so much.

If I were his wife I would be wondering if any feelings developed in the jungle to lead to such a public kiss. His poor wife ☹️

Too add onto my answer (can't work out how to edit!) If I found out DH had kissed someone while drunk, I wouldn't be concerned by the kiss itself, as much as I would be about the amount he had drunk, and why he would get himself into such a state in the first place.

Nope

such drama I don’t know these people but having it plastered all over the tabloids is worse than the kiss itself I think.
If it were a random person in a club I would be more forgiving than if the kiss was between 2 people that know each other

The one and only time I was tempted to kiss someone drunk (while not single) was when I was very unhappy in my relationship. To my mind, no one is tempted to kiss another person if they're truly happy in their relationship. So I would want to know "why" it happened.

If you don't know the why, then how can the person promise they won't do it again?

Yes, I would. And honestly, it wouldn't be something I would dwell on, I would get over quickly. However though, after watching the video, I do not believe this is 'one off drunken kiss territory' to be honest. I think there is a chance they have been sleeping together.

Nope. You just know this is the female friend he's been telling his wife not to worry about.... they were in the jungle together, it's a bit like ex colleagues in many respects. It's quite clearly a kiss and makes it so much worse that it's out there in the public. I wouldn't forgive it at all

Loads of adultery in my family, it’s so destructive, I used to say you don’t know what you’d do til you’re in the situation but now I’d say no I wouldn’t forgive it, definitely not. Danny’s wife deserves better.

As a wise ancient philosopher once said,
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss
It was only a kiss

Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag

Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head

i hope she apologised to richard coles

he is in the public eye, he is a big character
they both love themselves
a whole different ball game to my life

Not with Maura Higgins. I'd have no respect for him afterwards.

For me personally no I couldn’t forgive a drunken kiss, but everyone is different and like already mentioned some have forgiven and have carried on in happy relationships for many years which is great but being in the public eye and the world knowing what has happened must make it harder to decide what to do.

It wouldn't bother me, people are very dramatic.

Yes i would forgive as long as it was a kiss and never happened again

years ago he went to vegas on a stag do and i told him that he had to tell me everything as I would be furious if i found out another way

I’ll caveat this by saying our marriage is open, so a kiss (and more) isn’t a problem for us. But I can also say that often, a drunken kiss really can just be a drunken kiss, with no other meaning or emotion. I’ve had a lot of them, which were fun at the time, with attractive people - but people I haven’t had any desire whatsoever to see or kiss or do anything else with in any other context. It was a drunk kiss. We enjoyed it. But that was it. I can’t even remember many of their names, years on.

They were both in the jungle together last year. He won.

I feel so sorry for his wife.

If you are drinking enough that you are kissing someone you shouldn't be (and can't remember it), you also have a drinking problem.

what about Adrien and Halle?

I've been with DH for 20 years and he forgave me a drunken kiss 8 years ago. It's never happened before or since.
I was overseas for 4 months with work and went to an all-day bottomless brunch. I drank a frightening amount and passionately kissed a guy right at the end of the night. There was no back story with this guy.
As soon as the kiss happened, I disappeared into the night, hammered (in a muslim country), to no doubt get into an unlicensed taxi on my own back to my hotel (I dont remember getting home).
I told DH the next morning.
In the 8 years since, I've had a strict 2 drink rule for work functions, and I've never broken it.

a snog?
a long kiss?
what type

I think Maura was in the jungle last year but not sure who Danny is!
regardless, the question from the op is an interesting one.

No coz I'm using Google for multiple mumsnetting. Thanks for the link.
